Hi all, please help me

I have a csv file and I need to create an application using Perl to read and generate SQL statements but I faced a problem.

Lets say my data is as follow:
a, asd, 123
b, asd, 234
c, asd, 345


My result will be:
Insert into person_info VALUES("a","asd","123");
Insert into person_info VALUES("b","asd","234");
Insert into person_info VALUES("c","asd","345");


But if my data is:
a, a"s"d, 123
b, asd, 234
c, as"d", 345


My result will become:
Insert into person_info VALUES("a","a","s","d","123");
Insert into person_info VALUES("b","asd","234");
Insert into person_info VALUES("c","as","d","345");


How do i make it such a way that result will be:
Insert into person_info VALUES("a","a"s"d","123");
Insert into person_info VALUES("b","asd","234");
Insert into person_info VALUES("c","as"d"","345");


My code currently is as follow:


$csv = "test.csv"; open(DAT, $csv) || die("Cannot Open File"); while (<DAT>) { my @new = (); push(@new, $+) while $_ =~ m{ "([^\"\\]*(?:\\.[^\"\\]*)*)",? | ([^,]+),? | , }gx; push(@new, undef) if substr($_, -1,1) eq ','; my $string = format_string(@new); my $query = qq{Insert into person_info VALUES ($string)}; print $query, "\n"; } sub format_string { my $string; foreach (@_) { if (/[^\d]/) { $string .= qq{"$_",}; } else { $string .= qq{$_,}; } } return substr($string, 0, -1); }
